Greg Johnson wrote a good article about Student Loan Forgiveness and how we should reframe the debate.
"Leftist overproduction is also one of the driving forces of wokism. Leftists who actually find jobs in their field use wokism as a tool of upward mobility. They seek to destroy the careers of their superiors to move on up the corporate hierarchy."
Greg is actually indirectly describing some of what is going on within the AAA video game industry in terms of its Leftist takeover. Over the past several decades, the structure of student loans has probably very directly bolstered the Leftist takeover. It's inundated society with a giant surplus of wokenites who then seek out jobs at various AAA publishers and developers.
"Lenders don’t lose, whereas if bankruptcy is allowed, lenders lose when they make bad loans. And that’s who should lose, primarily; the lender should lose. I love the idea of lenders losing. They richly deserve it in many cases. Lenders should lose; and the way they lose is through bankruptcy."
I totally agree here. The mainstream narratives of the Right and the Left never seem to blame the authorities, the institutions or the experts for giving out loans to young, naive, inexperienced people depending on actual adults and leaders to guide them through an increasingly confusing world. Yes, a lot of people are just stupid and choose to accumulate debt for really pointless degrees, but that still doesn't absolve the institutions who offer these pointless degrees at the public expense.
To cycle back to the first quote, "Leftist overproduction is also one of the driving forces of wokism," the situation is actually much worse than simple greed from lenders and related institutions. Leftist Overproduction was always the point here, and American society has been funding its own demise by producing a surplus of enemy actors.

Everyone reading this has the power to convert one other person to White Nationalism in the space of a year.
If you convert 1 person a year, for 30 years, there will be 30 more awakened whites.
But if those 30 people ALSO commit to converting 1 per year, after 30 years, there will be more than a billion of us.
We've got the truth. Now we need to add the commitment to proselytize.

Gavin McInnes has admitted faking being arrested by the FBI for "artistic reasons" (attention).
Absolute scumbag move while the FBI is rounding up conservatives and Jan 6 protestors are still locked up. Doing this helps discredit the very real threat right wing figures are facing from an aggressive security state in the US and just caused his followers to look silly by trying to raise awareness about it.
What's more, in private texts revealed by Owen Benjamin he said he would never reveal it was a hoax so we can reasonably assume he would never have come clean if Benjamin didn't publish those texts. McInnes has revealed himself to be nothing but a shameless grifter with this stunt.
